What Is an IUD?

​An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small plastic T-shaped device used for birth control. It is inserted into the uterus where it stays to prevent pregnancy. It is a small piece of flexible plastic shaped like a T. Sometimes it is called an IUC — intrauterine contraception.

How Does the ParaGard IUD Work?

​Paragard works using just 1 simple active ingredient which is copper. Paragard works by preventing the sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg and may also prevent implantation. However, because Paragard is hormone-free, it will not prevent your natural menstrual cycle or stop you from ovulating each month. At first, periods may become heavier and longer with spotting in between.

Broken IUD Causes How Does the ParaGard IUD Work?

​Serious production defects have led to broken IUDs, with the breakage occurring either during the implantation process or during removal. According to an ongoing ParaGard IUD lawsuit, Teva was aware of the potential breakage that could occur from the defective IUDs during implantation and removal.

ParaGard Removal Side Effects

​ParaGard IUDs are removed by a healthcare provider. IUDs should be removed when they expire (they typically last from 3 to 10 years), when the user wants to get pregnant, or after experiencing side effects. Some typical ParaGard side effects include light bleeding between periods, cramping, pain, and heavy bleeding during periods.​​ Several ParaGard IUD users have reported that the device can also reportedly break during removal, leaving part of the device embedded in the uterus, according to a report published in the Open Journal of Clinical & Medical Case Reports. Some of the complications caused by a broken or fractured IUD, or otherParaGard removal side effects, include:
Broken pieces getting lodged in the uterine cavity

• Uterine infection
• Pain, cramps, and/or bleeding
• Perforation of the IUD through the wall of the uterus
• Broken pieces migrating to other organs

If breakage occurs, it may require that the device be removed with serious invasive treatments such as surgery to remove any leftover pieces and total hysterectomy, which may result in infertility issues for those affected. If you suffered ParaGard removal side effects, call Paraguard IUD Removal Lawyer Timothy L.
